Technical Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a frame of a map based on a current travel-direction for tracking a movement of a first device; generating a directional-tile from the frame based on the current travel-direction; and transferring the directional-tile for displaying a navigation map on a second device using the directional-tile from the first device.

Patent Claims
20 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising: determining a frame of a map using a control unit of a first device based on a current travel-direction for tracking a movement of the first device; generating a directional-tile from the frame using a user interface based on the current travel-direction; and transferring the directional-tile using a communication unit for displaying a navigation map on a second device using the directional-tile from the first device without recalculating an entire display of a screen of the second device.

2

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein: determining the frame includes determining an acceleration, a rotational movement, or a combination thereof for tracking a movement of the first device, the second device, or a combination thereof; transferring the directional-tile includes transferring the directional-tile for tracking the movement of the first device, the second device, or a combination thereof on the second device.

3

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the directional-tile includes selecting the directional-tile from a rotation set having two, four, eight or more selections for controlling display of a map.

4

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the directional-tile includes rotating a portion of the frame according to a rotation set.

5

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising adjusting the directional-tile based on a map-characteristic, a display-characteristic, or a combination thereof.

6

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising: calculating a current travel-direction for tracking a movement of a combination of a first device and a second device using the first device, a host device, or a combination thereof; determining a frame of a map using a control unit of the first device based on the current travel-direction for tracking the movement of the first device using the first device, the host device, or a combination thereof; generating a directional-tile from the frame using a user interface based on the current travel-direction for tracking the movement of first device using the first device; transferring the directional-tile using a communication unit for displaying a navigation map on the second device using the directional-tile from the first device without recalculating an entire display of a screen of the second device.

7

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein: transferring the directional-tile includes transferring the directional-tile for displaying the project-map with the current travel-direction not pointed toward a screen bottom-portion; and generating the directional-tile includes generating the directional-tile based on the current travel-direction and a reverse-movement.

8

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein calculating the current travel-direction includes determining a reverse-movement.

9

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein calculating the current travel-direction includes determining an independent device-movement based on the acceleration, the rotational movement, or a combination thereof.

10

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising determining a relative-forward direction for characterizing an orientation of the first device relative to the current travel-direction.

11

11. A navigation system comprising: a control unit configured to: determine a frame of a map using a first device based on a current travel-direction for tracking a movement of the first device; a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to generate a directional-tile from the frame based on the current travel-direction; and a communication unit, coupled to the control unit, configured to transfer the directional-tile for displaying a navigation map on the second device using the directional-tile from the first device without recalculating an entire display of a screen of the second device.

12

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is configured to: determine an acceleration, a rotational movement, or a combination thereof for tracking a movement of the first device, the second device, or a combination thereof; and wherein: the communication unit is configured to transfer the directional-tile for tracking the movement of the first device, the second device, or a combination thereof on the second device.

13

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is configured to select the directional-tile from a rotation set having two, four, eight or more selections for controlling display of a map.

14

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is configured to rotate a portion of the frame according to a rotation set.

15

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is configured to adjust the directional-tile based on a map-characteristic, a display-characteristic, or a combination thereof.

16

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is configured to: calculate the current travel-direction for tracking a movement of a combination of the first device and the second device using the first device, a host device, or a combination thereof; determine the frame of the map based on the current travel-direction for tracking the movement of the first device using the first device, the host device, or a combination thereof; and generate the directional-tile from the frame based on the current travel-direction for tracking the movement of the first device using the first device.

17

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the communication unit is configured to transfer the directional-tile for displaying the project-map with the current travel-direction not pointed toward a screen bottom-portion.

18

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit is configured to: determine a reverse-movement; and generate the directional-tile from the frame based on the current travel-direction and the reverse-movement.

19

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit is configured to determine an independent device-movement based on the acceleration, the rotational movement, or a combination thereof.

20

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit is configured to determine a relative-forward direction for characterizing an orientation of the first device relative to the current travel-direction.
